Notes from our Certified Fitters:Always contact your physician and/or therapist to determine the correct compression strength for your condition. The Juzo 2000 Soft Series is the compression hose that we most often recommend to our clients trying to decide between the different fabrics offered. It is soft, comfortable, and durable. Juzo hose should be replaced after six months of normal wear. They start losing their effectiveness after that time. If they seem to be getting looser, than you are not receiving the maximum benefits of their compression strength.

Other features include:

Extremely soft and elastic for easy movement

Opaque knit, virtually inconspicuous

Beaded silicone border available on thigh-high styles

Unisex

Machine wash and dry

Offering one of the largest variety of compression stockings in the industry, Juzo provides products that are ideal for every lifestyle and specialized need.

Fibersoft:

Fibersoft is a special manufacturing process exclusive to Juzo. The Fibersoft process micro-spins every elastic fiber with soft protective threads. This innovative, high tech process is used in Juzo garments to:

Provide a soft, protective layer between the skin and the elastic fiber

Improve breathability for wearing comfort

Allow the garment to glide over the skin for easy application

Regulate the stretch of the elastic fiber to prevent over-stretching

Improve the durability of the compression garment

Lycra:

All Juzo compression garments are made with Lycra. Along with the two-way stretch elasticity, Lycra maximizes wearing comfort and allows the garment to move with you throughout the day.

All Juzo stockings are Latex-Free

Measuring for Juzo Compression Stockings:

When to take measurements:It is important that the edema is at its most reduced state. Most often this is found first thing in the morning or at the end of treatment.

How to take length measurements:Length measurements should be taken from each circumference. It is recommended that you mark the leg with a non-permanent, non-toxic marker at each circumference measurement made.

The length measurement is then taken even with the floor, along the inside of the leg, up to each circumference point.

About Leg Health:

Many factors contribute to the overall health of our legs: heredity, weight, age, diet and activity level. But it's the internal function of the legs that also plays an important role: calf muscles, arteries, veins, and vein valves--the internal highway of blood and oxygen flow.

Your Circulation:The flow of blood in the veins is assisted by a series of one-way valves. The valves remain open when the blood flows toward the heart, and then closed after blood passes through. Over time, an increase in pressure can stretch the vein walls. If a vein becomes enlarged and over-stretched the valves cannot close properly, causing blood to leak back down into the lower legs, resulting in poor circulation.

If this happens you may begin to develop symptoms, such as:

Heavy, tired, aching legs

Swollen legs and/or ankles

Sensation of warmth in the legs

Tingling or cramping of the legs

Dull or sharp pain in the calf

Small varicose veins and spider veins

Using Compression Therapy:Graduated compression stockings and socks are important to leg health. They help minimize muscle aches, swelling, and symptoms of fatigue. Exercise and a healthy lifestyle will strengthen your legs, but wearing graduated compression stockings or socks will support the internal function of the veins.

We recommend that donning gloves always be worn when applying your compression garments. These gloves have a gripping texture that makes it considerably easier to put on compression hose. Donning gloves also help to prevent tearing, snagging or putting a nail or finger through the garment. This is especially true with the sheer compression hosiery. Other people prefer to use a donning aid like the Juzo Slippie Gator.
